I think you're slightly confused here. What's changing isn't the permissions but the way the system reports the owner of the files. The system tracks that by the numeric userid and converts that to a name when displaying the information, because that's easier for humans to understand. Different distros start numbering normal users at different places and if your various installations use different numbering, they're going to think that files created in a different distro were created by a user they have no record of, so they can't display a name, only a number. Using chown to change this will work, but as soon as you go back to the distro you were using when you created them, you'll have to do it again. It's possible to set things so that your user has the same numeric userid in all of your installations, and if you do that, you'll have what you want. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
